I invited my bravest friends to explore the haunted mansion with me. I also wanted the resident ghost to scare them at midnight!

The structure Verb + Object + to-infinitive is used to show that we want, invite, or expect someone else to do something.
Gap 1 & 2: The verb invite takes an object ("my bravest friends") followed by a to-infinitive ("to explore"). The distractor made requires a base verb without "to" (made them explore), and insisted requires "on" or a "that" clause.
Gap 3 & 4: The verb want takes an object ("the resident ghost") followed by a to-infinitive ("to scare"). The distractors hoped and suggested cannot be directly followed by an object and a to-infinitive in this way.
